In reading the book I found the first half some what hard to get through. I was looking towards getting the info he was to give on investing. The second half of the book was what I was looking for. If you use his discipline in trading you could make alot of money in the market. I would recommended it just to have a base to use in your stock trading methods.

I know the author personally,he gave me my "shot" on Wall St.when I was 18 years old.There are a lot of "empty suits" that have written books on investing,I promise you Morty is not one of them. If you love facts as I do regarding investments...buy this book it will be of value to you.

Larry King's review (on the back cover) said it best, "this is the best book I've ever read on making it big. You're in the hands of a master. Enjoy!"

This first tape contained keen insights regarding Ben Graham, the dean of value investing. Unfortunately, the second tape regarding growth investing was a little slow. Overall the tapes were very gold.

Some amusing stuff, marred by contributor William E. Simon's neanderthal offerings, e.g., "multiculturalism" as one of the "Most Destructive Ideas in Public Life" along with "No-fault divorce" and "The welfare state," etc. His list of "God's Greatest Gifts to Mankind" includes Jesus Christ, heaven, the USA and the Bible, no kidding.

Initially I thought that Rukeyser had lost a few I.Q. points, but then I realized that he did include "the worst" in the title. Sometimes the way to really embarrass people is to just quote them.
